Chapter 91 Making a Deal(1/2)

"Come here, drag them two out and chop them up." After hearing Ma Hui's explanation that he betrayed Zhao Zongquan for this reason, King Huan turned red with anger and roared loudly.

"Your Highness, King Huan, is in no hurry. He wants to keep these two people for public trial, clarify their punishments, and alert the world. He also wants to interrogate these two people and find out all the traitors who participated in the rebellion."

Gu Tingye stopped the soldiers who came in and persuaded King Huan.

Putting aside these obvious reasons, Concubine Liu was still Zhao Zongquan's favorite concubine.

Even if Zhao Zongquan is killed, it is not suitable to directly behead him. Whether it is drinking medicine or hanging, he can leave the whole body and give the imperial concubine the dignity she deserves.

After taking a few deep breaths, King Huan suppressed his anger and said, "Drag him down and keep a close eye on him."

"His Royal Highness King Huan, many of the officials have been bribed into the imperial city by the rebels. Now they are all placed in Zhongshu. Why not call them over to discuss your Majesty's future affairs."

Seeing that King Huan had regained his senses, Sheng Changbai suggested.

Discussing how to bury Zhao Zongquan was just an excuse. Calling the officials over at this time was because it was time for the officials to persuade them to come in.

Zhao Zongquan died suddenly, leaving behind a forged edict by Ma Hui and Liu Guifei.

Let Concubine Liu's son Zhao Qi inherit the throne. Of course, no one supports the situation when both of them lose.

The throne of the old Zhao family still needs to be inherited by King Huan.

However, the false edicts created by the two people are not counted, which means that Zhao Zongquan did not explain anything before his death.

Although in the eyes of the clan, military, civil servants, and even the common people, King Huan was the ironclad successor to Zhao Zongquan's throne.

But in fact, this was just everyone's acquiescence. Legally speaking, Zhao Zongquan never established that King Guo Huan was his successor at any time or on any occasion.

When Zhao Zongquan first entered the capital, it was King Huan and Gu Tingye who helped lead the troops. King Huan was also considered the king of Zhao Zongquan and had made great contributions.

However, after Zhao Zongquan succeeded to the throne, he did not directly establish King Huan as the prince and establish his eldest son as the heir.

The eldest son was only given the title of Prince Huan by Prince Huan.

Although compared to Zhao Zongquan's other sons, who were only conferred Dukes, Zhao Jiying's title as King Huan was already very high.

However, it is also a rule for princes of the Zhou Dynasty to be granted the title of prince after leaving the cabinet.

King Huan's title of prince is almost non-existent, and he does not have any advantage in the succession.

The emperor did not leave any edict before his death, which means that all the princes have a chance.

Although King Huan currently has the strongest military force, compared to his several underage brothers, his strength is completely out of proportion, so he can be said to be the ironclad heir.

But in this kind of thing, one must pay attention to the appearance of eating, and King Huan cannot ask for the throne himself.

He called over all the officials who had stayed behind in Zhongshu, and together they persuaded King Huan to come forward.

King Huan made another three concessions and three concessions, and this procedure was considered justifiable.

"We also need to invite several prime ministers and assistants into the palace, especially Mr. Han."

Gu Tingye added that although Sheng Changbai looked down on Han Zhang.

However, Gu Tingye and Han Zhang, as Zhao Zongquan's right-hand men, were both literary and military, and the cooperation was quite pleasant.

After meeting Cong Long and Ding Ding, Gu Tingye still couldn't forget Han Zhang.

At this time, King Huan really needed the support of the prime minister, and Sheng Changbai couldn't stop him.

All we can do is watch Han Zhang take a huge share of the credit.

"Before I found you, I saw Mr. Han. He was barking in the street as if he was suffering from hysteria. It was only with the guidance of the soldiers who were guarding Mr. Han that I was able to find you."

But when he had the opportunity to hack Han Zhang, Sheng Changbai couldn't let it go.

Seeing this thing, he will become a veteran of three dynasties supporting the three emperors.

Being too senior and staying in the court would be an obstacle to the reforms Sheng Changbai wanted to initiate.

We still need to try our best to get rid of this old thing as soon as possible.

Sheng Changbai didn't want to, because there was a prime minister with such seniority above him.

I don't believe that King Huan would like to have a prime minister with such seniority.

Restrict yourself so that you can't let go.

"Okay, immediately send people to invite the officials in the Zhongshu Yamen, including officials from the second system and above, and send people out of the imperial city to invite a few prime ministers and assistants." King Huan responded.

After a night of doing this, the imperial city gate was broken down twice in one night, and there was no question of any palace ban today.

"Come here with a few people and wait on the Queen for a while." King Huan continued, arranging for your people to wait on the grieving Queen Shen.

The Queen's recognition of King Huan as the heir is also very important, but because the Queen is King Huan's biological mother, this will not make any difference, as long as she takes good care of him.

"You two, please accompany me to Baoci Palace to meet the Queen Mother."

From the panicked palace maids and eunuchs, he selected a few who were relatively calm and served the queen. King Huan then said to Gu Tingye and Sheng Changbai.

Baoci Hall is located to the west of Funing Hall and is the residence of the Queen Mother.

It was so close to the emperor's palace, which to some extent meant it was convenient for the emperor to show filial piety.

The Queen Mother is also a key figure in the succession of the throne, not to mention that the Queen Mother is also involved in the rebellion, which also needs to be resolved.

"Your Highness, today the rebel faction forged edicts to gain hundreds of officials and entered the city. Officials who have not entered the imperial city have become wary of the palace people. They may not dare to believe that the palace people enter the imperial city. It is better for me to follow them and pass the order.

Some."

Sheng Changbai was not happy to go to Kunning Hall to find the Queen Mother.

It would be better if King Huan and the Queen Mother made peace, but if King Huan wants to avenge his father.

It would not be appropriate for Sheng Changbai, a minister, to reward the Queen Mother with a glass of poisonous wine or two feet of white silk.

After reading the emperor's dark history, there are two situations. One is that he is cited as a confidant by the emperor, and the other is that he arouses the emperor's fear and becomes a thorn in his side.

Sheng Changbai went with him to the imperial city today to rescue him. Although he failed to save him, he still got a share of the support of the new emperor. He had already made a big contribution and there was no need to take any more risks.

"Then it's troublesome for Yushi Sheng."

King Huan's invitation to Sheng Changbai was obviously not sincere. As soon as Sheng Changbai declined, King Huan agreed.

"No need to worry about trouble when working for the country." Sheng Changbai replied.

"The Great Prime Minister of Han, the Great Prime Minister of Han."

When Sheng Changbai left the imperial city, the first person he came to was Han Zhang's house. Han Zhang had the highest status, so the location of the mansion was of course the best, and it was the closest to the imperial city.

When he arrived at the door of Han Zhang's house, Sheng Changbai was not polite and just arranged for someone to bang on the door and shout loudly.

"Who's here?" The voice was unfamiliar. It wasn't Han Zhang or Han Dalang, it was probably the housekeeper at home.

"There is a decree in the palace, please invite Mr. Han to enter the palace."

"It's not enough to lie to me once, how dare you come here!" The butler's frightened and angry voice came from inside again.

"Who is the liar? I am the supervisory censor Sheng Changbai. Please call Mr. Han out for urgent help."

"You guys wait a moment, I'll go report. I'm warning you that our Prime Minister's Mansion is guarded by soldiers, so don't try to force your way in," the steward replied.

"Hurry up, the matter is urgent and there is no room for delay." Sheng Changbai urged.

"Is there really a lot of flowers blooming outside the door?" This voice was familiar, it was Han Dalang's voice.

"It's me. Mr. Han is okay. The palace is urgently recruiting Mr. Han to join the palace."

After confirming, the door of the Han family's mansion was opened, except for Han Dalang and the servants of the Han family.

There were also some people who looked familiar. They were the soldiers who came to arrest Han Zhang.

"My father was frightened and was a little out of energy. He just took a rest."

"Then wake them up."

Han Dalang: "..."

"There is an urgent matter and we need to invite Mr. Han to the palace for discussion." Sheng Changbai explained.

There was a mutiny in the city, and Han Zhang had just returned to the Palace of Hell. Not knowing how things would develop, Sheng Changbai didn't believe that Han Zhang could sleep.

Probably just lie down to calm down and take a rest.

"good."

Sheng Changbai was waiting in the main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, while Han Dalang went to the back house to call for help.

Sheng Changbai admired Han Xin's mansion. The mansion in the Prime Minister's Mansion was quite nice. The main hall was large and could accommodate dozens of dancing girls performing.

The court spent money to support these dancers, and Han Zhang's life was still very comfortable.

Modern bosses maintain a song and dance troupe, probably for social purposes.

Han Zhang's song and dance troupe is purely for his own private appreciation.

"Sheng Tanhua, there is an urgent call from the palace. What is the matter? Your Majesty is still well."

Han Zhang came out not too slowly. He had calmed down and regained Zaifu's demeanor.

"After arriving, Xianggong Han will know it himself."

The death of the old emperor has not yet been revealed.
